RE: Why does @haejin feel the need to rape the reward pool so much?
I'm new to Steemit and I've been following this back and forth banter for the past 2 days and have to say its super entertaining.
The drama, the intensity its epic. Both sides just going for the jugular and going toe to toe.
It is both sad and entertaining at the same time. The amount this guy makes is ridiculous. His 10 posts a day could have easily gone into 1 larger post (or 4, for all I care). I know the platform is free to do on as you please, with risk of flags ofcourse, but this latest war has nasty side effects.
Lots of smaller accounts get flagged for interfering and speaking their mind for either side. Either because of their flags, opinion posts or comments. They are just trying to stand up for what they believe is best for the platform and they are getting crushed for doing so.
Besides that, look at the Trending page. This trending page (which should really not exist anymore) displays so many signs of the latest flagging war, anyone interested in the platform will quickly turn and run the other way once they see our collective behaviour. It is also chasing away current members as we speak.
I don't understand why Steemit Inc. doesn't interfer by bringing back the 4 day posting limit. No one writes so many articles that they would require more than that. Even if they did, they could just keep on posting and just not earn anything from their spam. I loved the suggestion someone made to use the same kind of weight that's used on VP. A Post Rewards Weight that grows back to 100% if you stick to max 4 posts a day.
Anyway, yes, entertaining to see for a while, but bad publicity, which is part of what this war is all about I guess...
Even with a limit of only 4 posts a day the problem won't be solved. Only thing he has to do then is giving a couple of reply's to the comments he gets and get (big) upvotes for his reply's ...
Really? I hadn't seen any big upvotes on his comments. Either way, in that case it would be a very clear sign of abuse, whereas with high paying posts, the line is a little more blurry (even though I agree the current 10 posts a day is definitely abuse). He'd have a harder time explaining that away to his followers.
A post limit would benefit the platform overall I think. I know there are ways to work around it, but that's not a good enough argument to not make an improvement. Not everyone is willing to go through the trouble.
Even if the post limit is imposed, I think @ranchorelaxo will just vote on those comments and make him $200+ per vote.
I think the abuse is just the tip of the iceberg of what could potentially ruin this platform. When you have multiple "partnerships" like @haejin and @ranchorelaxo, there will be nothing left for most of us.
Yeah, sadly the upvoting partnership doesn't end with only them. I guess everyone has friends here who they want to support. It just kinda hurts the smaller people when whales have only whale friends.
I totally agree with you that a daily limit will be an improvement (btw the same should done with resteems to my opinion). Hope the next HF will bring good and sufficient modifications to solve (or at least reduce) the abuse that's going on right now. Have a nice evening.
Yep, votes on comments or another account. @ta-today @ta-latertoday @ta-forbreakfast..
I think the four posts per day limit was removed to allow comments to use the same pool as actual posts. Something about the code forced the change.
Oh really? Bah that's so sad. To be limited by code!
Be that as it may, the removal of the limit was definitely for the worst of the platform.
Yes it was. You know, it's hard for me to think this can't be implemented through coding. It might take a little more effort, but still. I'm no coding expert, but I know enough to know that, as long as you can distiguish a blog post from a comment, you should be able to have control over just one of them... Maybe that's the issue and deep under water, they are the same.
Oh well, not that my thoughts matter much on that particular subject :-)
Very good point indeed, I posted about this issue last week and hope that steemit inc will listen to its members plea and bring back posting limit say 3 and from the 4th one no more reward..of course they can open another account but it will not have the same effect like the original one..
